SAD moves privilege motion against Jairam, Renuka

Akali Dal on Monday decided to move a privilege motion in Rajya Sabha against two Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and Renuka Chowdhury for what it termed was misbehaving with its and union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal.

The party raised the issue of an alleged spat between the Congress leaders and the Food Processing Minister after Rajya Sabha was adjourned on Friday afternoon due to ruckus over AAP MP Bhagwant Mann’s controversial filming of Parliament House.

Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa from the party demanded that the two should apologise for their behaviour or face privilege motion.

Anand Sharma (Cong) said the minister has every right to speak in either House of Parliament on a bill or a discussion. But the issue was whether a minister, who is not a member of this House, raise an issue during zero hour, he asked.

“Can a minister who is not a member of this house have the same privileges as other members of the House” and that too “about a person who is a member of the other House,” he asked.
